Daniela Klammer is a Ph.D. candidate in the Working Group for Mathematical Physics at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna. She investigates theoretical models of space-time at very small length scales, trying to relate the theory of general relativity to quantum mechanics.

She has studied physics at the University of Vienna, the University of Wales Swansea, and the University of Hamburg. For her diploma thesis, she joined the theory group of the Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron in Hamburg, Germany’s center for particle acceleration, where she also worked as a guide through the laboratories. She has taken part in various summer schools for particle physics – among these, one at CERN. She was an intern at the Office of Science & Technology from October to December 2008.

Klammer holds a master’s degree in physics from the University of Vienna.
